Modern Slavery Statement for Get ? Gardener
Get ? Gardener is committed to the highest standards of ethical conduct and human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our approach to eliminating forced labour, human trafficking and any form of modern slavery from our operations and supply chains. As Get ? Gardener, sometimes referred to in documents as Get?Gardener or the Get Question Mark Gardener group, we maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards abuses of human rights.
Our commitment applies to all colleagues, contractors, suppliers and partners. Get - ? Gardener expects every individual and organization we engage with to respect human dignity and labour rights. We embed these expectations into our policies, contracts and procurement practices and we require adherence through contractual clauses and due diligence.
We publish this statement to be transparent about the steps we take to prevent modern slavery. It describes the governance, risk assessment, supplier audits, reporting channels and the annual review process used to measure performance and drive continual improvement across Get ? Gardener operations and the wider supply chain.
Zero-Tolerance Policy
Get ? Gardener enforces a zero-tolerance stance on modern slavery. Any instance of forced labour, debt bondage, child labour or human trafficking is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate action, including termination of relationships and referral to law enforcement where appropriate. Our policy requires managers to act promptly on any suspected violations and to prioritize victim protection and remediation.We have implemented mandatory awareness training for staff and suppliers. This training covers how to recognise signs of exploitation, the obligations of partners of Get ? Gardener, and the steps to take when concerns arise. The training is refreshed regularly to reflect emerging risks and regulatory updates across jurisdictions where Get ? Gardener operates.
Supplier Audits and Due Diligence
Our supplier management framework includes risk-based due diligence and ongoing audits. We conduct:
- Pre-contractual screening to assess labour risks, documentation and compliance history;
- On-site and remote audits focusing on working hours, remuneration, recruitment practices and living conditions;
- Corrective action plans where non-compliance is found, with clear timelines for remediation and consequences for persistent or severe breaches.
Suppliers are required to provide evidence of compliance and to cooperate with our audit teams. In higher-risk scenarios, we may engage third-party auditors and local experts to ensure audits are thorough and culturally appropriate. Our procurement teams will escalate any critical findings to senior leadership within Get ? Gardener for decisive action.
Reporting Channels
We provide safe and accessible reporting channels for workers, suppliers and the public to raise concerns. Reports can be made through an internal whistleblowing portal, anonymous hotlines, or directly to designated compliance officers. All reports are treated confidentially, investigated promptly, and protected from retaliation. Victim support and remediation are prioritized in all investigations.
Annual Review and Continuous Improvement
Get ? Gardener conducts an annual review of our policies, audit outcomes and remediation efforts to evaluate effectiveness and identify improvements. The annual review includes analysis of supplier audit results, training completion rates, and incidents reported through our channels. Findings inform updates to our risk assessment, procurement practices and training materials.We recognise that combating modern slavery is an ongoing effort requiring collaboration. Get ? Gardener partners with industry groups, NGOs and suppliers to share best practice, strengthen transparency and support responsible employment standards across supply chains. Our continuous improvement approach ensures that lessons learned lead to measurable change.
By publishing this statement, Get ? Gardener (also referenced as Get?Gardener or the Get Question Mark Gardener team) reaffirms its unwavering commitment to human rights. We will maintain vigilance, perform rigorous supplier audits, ensure confidential reporting channels are available to all, and complete an annual review to drive accountability and progress. This statement will be reviewed and updated annually to reflect our evolving practices and commitments.
